vided With eight pins extending therefrom, four being arranged at either side thereof, which pins are arranged, in the embodinient shown in the drawing, at the four corners of the square-shaped member, these pins engage openings 55 in the extensions 19 and 2e, whereby the seid are locked into the openings and th type support is .locked into 'position i The'operetion of my improved device is as follows: The type bars comprising plete bers '-32 ere arranged in the usual inanner and operated in the usual manner by the Well-lmown'type bar operating' mechanism, 15 end When'it is desired to use one of the tour dierent characters of type, the flanged member is rotated, `whereby it seperated somewhat from its socket portion 28, and the members 29 and 34 are moved eyviy 2o from each other, whereby they may be readily brought from the uppermost position of 4the slots 2l and 26 to the loyverniost positionlof the slots 21 and 26, as shown in. dotted lines in Figs. 6 and 8, and thereby 25 ,the pins 54 may be moved out of the openings 55 of the extensions 19 and 24. vBy reason thereof, the type carrier may be ,readily rotated on its shaft portion 40, el, whereby another face may be brought into operative position with the ribbon and platen. When the desired face is brought into this operative posit' n, the flanged pon tion 3e is again rotated so as to draw to Ward it the socket member 28, and thereby S5 move the extensions 19 and 2 in adirection toward each other, so that the openings are engaged bythe pins "A t Us and tie type support is thereby loclred irmly in position. At the same time, the-members 84 and 28 40 are moved from the lower position in the slots 2i. and 26 to the upper position, Whereby a tight clamping action is provided. lt is also very clear that the squareshaped type carrier i3 having the dierenttypes thereon, may be entirely taken ont of the type bars end replaced by an entirely new set. Thus, by this system of replacing, rarious end insny diierent'nses result. Finn therniore, such replacing, when individually dene, enables the repairs to be very much facilitated, and suoli a squereshaped inember may be eoinpletely token out and subinsoee stitoted by s new member, While the member'tlietI has been taken out may be readily repaired. j
